A comforting and easy-to-make creamy tomato bisque with roasted tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a velvety texture perfect for cozy nights or dinner starters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) Roma tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
  • 3 cups (720ml) vegetable broth, low sodium preferred
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream (can substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the halved Roma tomatoes, diced carrot, and half of the minced garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Roast for 25-30 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
  2. While the veggies roast, heat the remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Add the remaining garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
  3. Add the roasted vegetables, including the juices, to the pot. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes to deepen the flavor.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook uncovered for 15 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, blend in batches and return the soup to the pot.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and chopped fresh basil. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar if needed. Warm over low heat for 5 more minutes, avoiding boiling to prevent curdling.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or fresh herbs.

Notes

Roast tomatoes and vegetables to develop deep flavor. Blend soup slowly to avoid splattering. Add cream at the end over low heat to prevent curdling. Adjust seasoning gradually and add a pinch of sugar if soup tastes too acidic. If soup is too thick after blending, add more broth or cream to desired consistency.
